  • Patent number: 7656659
    Abstract: A notebook computer (1000) includes a base (100), a cover (300), a computer printed circuit board (PCB) (200) and a centrifugal fan (40). The cover covers the base, and cooperates with the base to form a receiving space (500) therebetween. The computer PCB is received in the receiving space and mounted on the base. The centrifugal fan is received in the receiving space, and includes a stator (401) and an impeller (402), rotatable with respect to the stator. The stator includes a motor (415) and a fan PCB (405) directly attached to the base. The motor electrically connects to the fan PCB. When the impeller rotates, airflow enters the receiving space through top and bottom air inlets (304, 104). The fan PCB is integrally formed with the computer PCB and has a height less than the computer PCB.

  • Patent number: 6999801
    Abstract: A mobile phone with base-detachable hinge structure is provided. The mobile phone compromises a base unit, a display unit, a hinge structure and a protection casing. The hinge structure, which can be attached to and detached from the base unit by means of a fixing device, is detachable from the display unit and the base unit. The design of base-detachable hinge structure in the invention facilitates the assembly and repair of the mobile phone, lest the hinge structures would be damaged during the process of disassembly resulting in discarded base units. As a result, it becomes environmentally friendly that unnecessary waste is reduced and the usefulness of the base unit improved.
